one of the greatest Australian Alto sax players.. Sydney.
BERNIE

In 1975 at the Pinball Whizz, I heard a local alto player who blew me right away!
Bernie Mcgann is the "angel of the alto saxophone‟ according to John Clare. (We all agree); Speaking of joy, Bernie is one sweet voice. At first, I couldn't believe his tone and the way he sings on the horn. No one sounds like him. So beautiful so dry and so -I never heard alto like this before! One and only. He played a Link mouthpiece on alto... What a sound. Inimitable. Bernie Mcgann turned my head right around. The possibilities of the alto became a weekly lesson, at every gig (when he was working). He introduced me to Ornette and Archie Shepp. I started hangin' out with the great drummer, Pete Dehlsen; we loved Bernie's throaty barking sound, his huge intervals encompassed in a more than four-octave range. He loved the top end of the horn. Awe-inspiring!......pax
